Profile:

The honour of opening the innings in India's first Test at Lord's in 1932 rightly belongs to Naoomal Jeoomal. For he had the qualities of a good opening batsman. Technically well equipped, Naoomal was a diminutive batsman whose forte was an organised defence and intense concentration. But he was also a player who looked for runs, mainly via the drive and the cut. He was a fine fielder, could keep wickets more than adequately in an emergency and was a left arm slow bowler capable of taking more than 100 wickets in first class cricket. In the only Test in 1932 Naoomal impressed in scoring 33 and 25. On the tour of England he was a success making 1297 runs (30.88). In his next Test, against England at Calcutta in 1933-34 Naoomal made 43 in the second innings, sharing a 57-run partnership with Mushtaq Ali - the first 50 run stand for the opening wicket for India. In the next Test at Madras, however, he edged a ball from `Nobby' Clark on to his head and could take no further part in the match.

That in effect was the end of Naoomal's Test career. But he remained a pillar of strength for Sind for about two decades and in 1938-39 hit his career best, 203 not out against Nawanagar in the Ranji Trophy. In first class cricket, he scored a little over 4000 runs at an average of 33.5 with seven centuries.(Partab Ramchand)
